The Run-Up to the 2020 Election (FEB 11, 2020)
Their leading candidate, Bernie Sanders, is a 78-year-old Communist, who recently suffered a heart attack, who honeymooned in the Soviet Union, and whose DREAM’ nation is Cuba.
The next in the pecking order as of now is Pete Buttigieg, 36 and the Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a town with the population of about 100,000. A newcomer to national politics, Mayor Pete is openly gay and has recently taken a young ‘husband’. He’s a bright young man, but I’m not sure the country is ready for a First Man in the White House. Time will tell!
The Dems' favorite candidate is/was Joe Biden, a 77-year old candidate who was a career Senator until he became Obama’s Vice-President. He used his position to get his son a job in Ukraine, and he is on record using his position and threatening to withhold funding from America unless an investigator looking into his son’s business in the Ukraine is fired. The investigator was fired. Biden did not fare well in Iowa, and things don’t look so hot in New Hampshire. Today at a rally in New Hampshire, he called a woman there 'a lying, dog-faced pony soldier'. He said it was a joke but there was not much laughter. Biden also has trouble knowing where he is and why he’s there. He’s currently in 4/5 place in the run for president after only two state primaries (depending on who you ask). He’s counting on South Carolina and Nevada to move him back to the front.
Then you have Senator Elizabeth Warren, who will be 71 in June, and is a woman who finds it easier to lie than be honest. Claimed to be of Indian heritage to get teaching jobs at universities. She misleadingly told a group of school-choice activists that her children “went to public schools,” not private ones. Warren’s campaign later clarified that her daughter attended public school, while her son mostly attended private school. Liz has slowly been sinking in the Democrat polls, but you never know!
Hovering in the background is Michael Bloomberg (age 77)…a gazillionaire who ran twice for mayor of NYC as a Republican and then one term as an Independent, but now wants to run as a Democrat AGAINST a Republican. He hasn’t taken part in any debates but plans to be front and center down the road. Prior to all these runs for office, he was a lifelong DEMOCRAT!
It’s VERY early in the primary season, but one thing I find completely hilarious AND AWESOME is that President Trump has held a rally in Iowa and in New Hampshire, both on the eve of the Democrat election…. and he has drawn ENORMOUS crowds who have stood outside the venue in WINTER WEATHER hoping to get a seat. Don’t know if Trump will continue this but I hope he can!
